Installation precautions

Choose a mounting location in your vehicle which is protected from foot traffic and passengers who might accidentally disconnect the cables. Be sure you can see each of the monitors from the mounting location if you intend to make the level adjustments without and assistant.

Do not install the video signal amplifier in areas which are susceptible to rain, moisture, direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold, excessive dust, dirt or humidity.

If installation requires drilling holes or other modifications to the vehicle, consult with your nearest dealer or professional car audio installer.

Use only the installation parts and hardware provided with the unit to ensure proper installation. Using other parts can cause malfunction and possible damage to your video monitor or other components in your mobile video system.

Use only a power source with 12 Volts DC (negative ground).

Before final installation, temporarily connect the wiring according to the diagram near the end of this manual, check it to ensure that it has been connected properly, and test the unit to make sure it is working correctly.

Installation

Mount the video amplifier in a suitable location.

Connect the RCA video input and output cables to the amplifier as shown in the wiring diagram.

Adjusting the video signal level

Before starting, rotate the output level controls on your new video signal amplifier to MINIMUM.

Turn on the video monitor whose video input signal you wish to amplify.

Turn on your DVD player (or other video source), and play a familiar video program.

At the MINIMUM setting, your monitor image is probably dark and unsatisfactory to view. Now slowly increase the output gain level for that monitor, until the picture is clear and bright. Continue to increase the gain level until you begin to see lines or other undesirable characteristics in the picture.

Finally, reduce the gain level back to the point where you feel the picture is best from the standpoint of color, brightness, and freedom from defects. Leave the control set at this level.

Repeat this process with the other monitors in your mobile video system.
